Its not a useful point so I amended my comment. Still waiting for anything you can use that isn’t a silly Salon editorial and actually has an argument I can engage with
You seemed to have no problem engaging with the previous one. Unfortunately, your idea of engagement was asking why black people can say something that white people can’t.
I’m ultimately saying it was Obama who actually made the reference and Welch who connected the dots to SnoopDog. How is that racist? Lets focus on that because thats the substantive matter here. Is it racist to recognize a cultural reference and put a name to it?
If you continue to avoid that question there’s just not anything to discuss aha
Also, I don’t necessarily disagree with or have any issue with Obama just as I don’t necessarily agree that Welch was ultimately on the right side of the issue (ACA) in this instance but the notion he’s racist based on that is sort of laughable and hurts whatever cause or principle you’re arguing from. I might have to say “when” now cuz we’re not getting anywhere
You’re right, I’m not going to hold your hand and explain to you why saying that Obama made a “SnoopDoggesque display” is racist regardless of Welch “connecting the dots.” You never even answered me when I asked you quite some time ago if Welch would have made the same statement about a white politician who said the same thing. That and your “why can’t white people say X” thing show exactly what you think.
If I understand you, the argument seems to be that if a white president had acted similarly Welch wouldn’t have made the Snoop connection but because Obama is black, that proves _______ Racism?! Do I have that right?

Your words:
So, please explain where racism is defined in U.S. law.

Oh, and then there was this:
You literally denied racism is a thing.
Check your fucking privilege.

You already said there’s no such thing as racism. So that must be moot.
Last chance:
Is this correct and fair?
Fair?
Why should I answer your question when you never answered mine?
Is that fair?
